Nearly all companies need database administrators– but not all companies need a full time DBA. Sometimes you might need “half a DBA.” Sometimes it’s for a one-time need, such as during a transition to a new platform or a surge in overflow work.

Datavail commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the viability of a managed service approach to database administration. With the explosion in the variety, velocity and volume of data and databases, coupled with the scarcity of DBA talent, the time is right to consider an alternative approach to managing databases. Forrester Consulting conducted the survey of executives in mid to large enterprises who are using managed services to augment their in-house DBA.

No matter what the scope of an engagement covers, no matter what technology we’re asked to support, Datavail helps organizations leverage data for business value. Transform your firm’s performance, processes, decision making and more with tour technology support.

Can Scripts Improve Quality of DBA Customer Service?

Quality customer service can be tough to define. For many Datavail clients, it’s one of those “I know it when I experience it” situations.

We want each client encounter — whether it originates with a telephone call or an emailed ticket request — to be considered a high-quality one by the client or project stakeholder.

Can customer support service experiences be consistent and replicated? We say, “Yes.”

In addition to sharing technical expertise, there are many factors associated with providing quality customer service, especially when human interaction is involved. Datavail database administrators maintain a specific, consistent experience while allowing us to seize many opportunities to exceed minimum standards.

Goal of Consistency

In the ticket handling process, for example, language is extremely important. We strive for consistency in how clients are addressed and in how the database administrator communicates with the client about their ticket request.

Those points sound extremely simple but should be second nature to employees who work with people. Having consistent written and spoken communication allows us to ensure that every client — no matter the size of their project — has a dependably courteous, professional interaction with our staff.

In the world of customer service, many would argue that pure scripts are the antithesis of great service.That is to say, customer service should be a conversation rather than a cold, lifeless script. However, given the variable nature of interacting with customers, it’s easy to see how support champs can certainly benefit from some forward thinking in dealing with tough scenarios.

Being professional and focused contributes to client satisfaction and their success.

Exceeding Expectations

At Datavail, we want to exceed a client’s expectations every time. We understand that we may be meeting a client under challenging circumstances, so it makes it even more important every client walks away satisfied.

Our goal is to leave a client not simply content that all questions or concerns are answered, but to ensure that he or she is completely satisfied in having chosen Datavail.

We hope that by explaining our philosophy and showing how we maintain consistent quality across our communications with clients, you’ll want to experience our customer service yourself. Please contact us for more information.
